UGH! These updates are just getting worse lately. I definitely don't want that crap on my PC!

Could you please give the URL of the page where the text in your quote is from. It most certainly is not from the KB article Brds7t7 linked to, and has nothing to do with that update.

Yes, that is part of the Windows technical preview / Windows Insider Preview Privacy Statement, and my point remains: what on earth has it to do with the KB in question?

BTW, all tinfoil hat conspiracy geeks, I repeat this at least hundredth time counting all our forums: If you are afraid that Microsoft wants your phone number and email address in order to cause your some harm, use a local account. Using it in Windows 10, as well as in Windows 8, then blocking the cookies and never registering to any Microsoft services keeps you out of their reach. Or do you seriously think that even if you have never given any email and / or phone number to your Windows PC, they spy you using your webcam and mic trying to find out the number and email?

It has nothing to do with conspiracy, paranoia or being a geek. It is a way of life in the US that many in other countries have no conception or idea of the "Rights" granted to US residents and guaranteed by The Constitution of The United States. Specially, the 4th Amendment. These rights can not be abridged. Not even by our government.

The KB being discussed, although short on detail, has similarities in that it is meant to acquire use information from a Personal Computer.

Not wanting to start a fight here, I just wonder which government does for instance NSA represent?

The rights granted to US citizens by the US constitution are about the same rights every civilized country grants to their citizens. In my native Finland there's not a single security, police or other organization which is allowed to listen, watch or follow me without a detailed submission to a court, which is according to the constitution only allowed to grant this permission for a specific, short period and only if the crime I am suspected of carries a multiple year sentence. And same here in Germany where I live, I am protected as any German because I am a European Union citizen.

Really, US of A is not the only country where the constitution protects it's citizens, and in many countries the protection of non-citizen residents is done far better.

That all being said, what has a constitution to do with Windows Privacy Statement? Microsoft has never forced a single user, American or of any other nationality to use Windows. If you use it, you have the possibility to check the EULA and the Privacy Statement. If one or both of them is a problem to you and you will not accept it, do not use Windows and that's it.

Network printers silently try to install on login and fail.I've noticed this on some (not all) of my machines here at work. System in example is an Dell Latitude E6530 running fully up to date Windows 7 64bit on our domain.
When a user logs on, the system decides it wants to detect network printers for some reason. It then tries to unsuccessfully...

How to run a Net Logon batch file silently?I have a few different batch files setup to map drives depending what state the user is in that runs upon logon...I am wanting to make it silent, because users tend to close out of it sometimes before it has been completed. Or at least run it minimized?
It is ran from active directory...I would...

32-bit apps fail silently on 64-bit Windows 7Very strange problem. I recently cleaned a client's HP Windows 7 Home system from a malware infection and the computer is in a rather odd state. It will run any 64-bit application, but will not run any 32-bit app. It took me about an hour to notice that there were no processes in Task Manager...
